NEW DELHI/GOA:
AAP National Spokesperson and MLA Raghav Chadha on Tuesday talked about how former Goa Governor Satya Pal Malik has gone all guns blazing against Goa CM Pramod Sawant and exposed a series of longstanding corruption in the state.
In a press release, AAP stated that both the people in question are BJP strongmen with close ties to the Prime Minister, who has remained mum on the matter. The Aam Aadmi Party demands that the BJP’s Goa CM Pramod Sawant must be sacked immediately and an independent enquiry should be ordered against him.
Raghav Chadha said that when PM Modi was made aware of the incessant corruption in Goa, instead of sacking the CM he transferred the Governor. He added that PM Modi’s ‘Na Khaaunga, Na Khaane Dunga’ statement is hollow like all his ‘jumlas’ and gives a free pass for corruption to his chief ministers. Chadha further said that when CM Sawant should have been working to save lives during Covid, he was busy filling up his coffers and amassing ill-gotten wealth. He stated that the only difference between BJP and Congress is that Congress committed corruption in an unorganised manner and the BJP has given a streamlined structure to it. Chadha reiterated that If PM Modi does not sack CM Sawant then it will be clear that the BJP’s Central command is in connivance with the Goa government’s exploitation, scam and corruption, the release added.
